One of Great Lessons of War Is That of National and Individual Thrift, Now Rapidly Growing Now that the new German government has accepted the inevitable, and has officially signed the peace terms dictated by the allies and the countries associated with them, the greatest and most disastrous war that ever scourged the world is ended. For nearly five years the world has been topsy-turvy. The things that were needed yesterday are no longer required, and the activities of the great war establishments and munition plants are being diverted to the manufacture of implements of peace. There must now be a readjustment, j Governments that have thought in billions and spent money with a lavish hand, must retrench and think in millions and even smaller amounts, and must gain a new perspective. Viewed in the retrospect the part played by America "r. the great world war is one of the mes: glorious rhr.p tors in history. And in the making of this brilliant hi- or nlhin Am*ri fan eiizo:; played a sieilar role. The mountains of munitions, the equipment for the millions of soldiers, the great ships that carried the men across the ocean, could not have been provided had not the common people o? America provided the money. Much of this money was obtained through the sale of Liberty Bonds and War Savings and Thrift Stamps. This great volume of money has not been wasted. First it brought permanent peace to the world, and now that real peace is here, every cent that was so invested will come back to those who aided their government, and it will come back with interest. This war that is now happily ended has taught the people the value of saving. They went into the saving game as much through patriotism as anything else. But now that they are reaping the returns, and see that what they did with a patriotic motive is a real foundation for future fortune, they have gained a new confidence in their country, and they will continue to buy the securities the Treasury Department offers, and will make the country many-fold more prosperous than it would have been had not the war instilled the lesson that will prove invaluable in future years. PAYING OFF THAT MORTGAGE Theodore Roosevelt said: "Thrift is merely the use of hard common sense in the spending of money." Paying off the mortgage on the installment plan by buying War Savings Stamps is one of the uses of this liaru common sense. Not only does this plan offer a practical way of saving small amounts of money, but small amounts may be earning interest as soon as they are set aside toward the collecting of the larger sum. This interest in turn | materially helps to reduce the 6 per cent interest rate commonly charged I on mortgages. When the mortgage cc-mes due it j may either be paid off in whole, or in j part and renewed, the method of saving through War Savings Stamps J being employed until the principal is j liquidated. i ' ^ *1? * *..4-1 ifn + Vinvn ir\ ' Tvlriy^inP VUSl llltuio mul uh it iv i lament that you neglected it."

INVESTED WISELY Funds Put Into War Savings Stamps Are Absolutc-iy Safe and Yield Handsome Profit to Holder i Government securities afford the I safest and most practical investment j in the world. A War Savings Stamp is a promisory note for $5 if redeemed at maturity, or for the original cost cf the stamp plus accrued interest if redeemed before maturity. It wa3 only after America entered the great world conflict that the small wage earner in this country was afforded the opportunity of investing in government securities; of becoming co-partners with the government. That there are today more than 20,000,000 holders of government securities is a fact which speak3 for itself. When you buy a War Savings Stamp you are helping the government.

WEALTH OF NATION CROWING RAPIDLY la Washington some of those experts, who are masters of figures and who have a mind attuned to statistics, frequently dig np queer things. One of ghis type has figured out that the total wealth of the United States is $30D,000,000,000. Then ho figures out the new wealth produced annually, which he terms "net income." This gets into dizzy figures, too. He estimates that last year the national wealth increased $18,000,000,000, which he admits is going faster than the normal.

It is well known that under; ! the stimulus of Government price an ! enormous wheat crop has been pro' duced, a crop of approximately 1,200,000,000 bushels. ' It is estimated that this country rei quires 600.000,000 bushels and that j Europe will require from 410,000,000 ! to 460,000,000 bushels. If these figures i prove correct, there will be a very lit| tie surplus left of the big crop of | wheat this country has grown. ! Since it appears to be probable that ! there will be no trouble to dispose of the present crop the next question is, what are the planting prospects for other wheat growing nations? i Of course the nations south of the j equator, like Argentina and Austra; lia, that have their summer when we ! are having our winter, have already j sown their fall crops, and will hari vest them near Christmas time. These i nations have, thus far, good prospects; j but they would hardly compare with I any two leading wheat-growing states ] ! of this country; therefore, they are! i not important factors, j Russia is the great granary of Europe and Asia. Those who have watch-1 ed the political trend of that country | ! see nothing but war and paralyzed1 agriculture ahead another year, if not' for several years. I WHAT IS ACID Raw phosphate rock is a substance | In which phosphoric acid and lime are : combined together in practically the ; same proportions in which they are j found in bone/-'and which is known j ! as phosphate of lime. I In this condition the lime and the phosphoric acid hold to each other with such a tight grip that the phosphorus cannot be dissolved by wa-; ter. It will readily be seen that but | for such a combination the phosphoj run would have been dissolved out and | washed to the sea before ever man ' came to inhabit the earth.

WHITTLE, ittee, Atlanta, Georgia. r? European countries in general are* short of labor. Demobilization ofarmies progresses slowly and the pe-t riod for fall sowing of small grain j in Europe will have passed before any material change can be made through recovery of labor from the armies. ; Therefore, there is going to be a 1 continued shortage of small grain in j Europe, making it probably necessary for this country to supply as much grain next year as this. But instead of the nation maintaining its wheat acreage, it is feared the withdrawal of the Government's guarantee will result in a reduction. In the South it is not only a good farm practice to grow wheat, oate and rye enough for home needs, but it is vprv desirable. (1) to have winter cover crops that will take up the plant food that would otherwise wash out of the soil with the winter rains; * (2) to provide light winter grazing for livestock; (3) to furnish in early spring some fresh cereal hay which will be the better if it has vetch or bur clover growing with it; (4) to furnish vegetable matter or humus to turn into the soil at the spring plowing. If all the cotton and corn fields were sown to small grain in the fall, it would mean more cotton and corn, b^tter soil, larger returns from fertilizers and greater farm profits. Too little attention is given to obtaining good wheat, oats and rye seed; too little attention is given to preparing a good seed bed, and too little fertilizers are used in growing the small grain crops in the South. What is worth doing at all, is worth doing well. ^PHOSPHATE' held under the hills, and in th* raae of the phosphorus we have been given the key for its unlocking by the use of sulphuric acid, which converts the insoluble rock into a soluble form. If the soluble phosphoric acid were separated from the lime which carries It and dissolved in water It would be much more inconvenient to handle than to leave it still combined wkh ; lime in the dry powder which we call acid phosphate, this lime simply serving the function of a bottle to carry the phosphorus, and saving the much ^ larger expense that would be involv- \ '^5 ed in the complete extraction of the phosphoric acid, converting it into liquid form and providing bottlee i? which to carry it.?Monthly Bulletin Ohio Experiment Station ? j : * Y\ iff 1 ; ?j Stoves ! \ 1 - >j> hipment, all sizes. see them. | 'LINE MOWERS | AKES. ; s iminer Co., )n, S.
